Feral Awesomeness
(This review features spoilers for X-Men: The Last Stand).
Since X2: X-Men United, fans of the series have been clamoring for a stand alone Wolverine film. The action scenes and the dive into Logan’s dark past made X2 one of the most exciting comic book films yet. After a disappointing trilogy ender, X-Men Origins: Wolverine was released and became a total critical flop. The film was a letdown on almost every level and seemingly killed the franchise, until X-Men: First Class, but that film had nothing to do with our favorite feral immortal. Unwilling to give up on the beloved hero, Hugh Jackman teamed up with director James Mangold in a last ditch effort to save the franchise and thankfully, this film saved the original X-Men series from certain doom.
